dont do that, dont want to hurt yourself.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Finland has its own mythological monsters, I assume. More than enough forests and lakes for unholy abominations to hide in.

Of course, my second reaction to anything related to my obsessions is always like that.

I usually go at about 100ish - 110, but many people go hotter than that.

And forests. Those silly Norse colonizers inflicted a happy little ecological disaster on their new homeland. Unintentional, of course. It's always unintentional.

Listen, Hurde. This is a viral outbreak we're dealing with. Saving the nation as a whole is what matters. If we have to lose 3% of the population to save the remaining 97%, I say we've saved 97% of them and they damn well better be thankful. It's not easy making these decisions.

It was probably Beria who came up with that gem. But no matter who said it, it's a pretty horrible statement to act upon.
